About this title

Synopsis

No Fear Management tackles the problem of what the authors dub "Third Reich Management." You'll learn the signs of abusive management styles and how they can not only destroy the morale of a company, but how they can decrease its profits as well. Best of all, you'll learn how to drive dysfunctional management out of your company and enjoy the results of a positive work environment.
No Fear Management is written for today's professionals to clearly identify what is needed to succeed in today's workplace. This book serves as a guide for the development of the people skills needed to ensure that a business is successful in the changing work environment of the future.
Management styles that are dictatorial, insensitive, uncaring, and abusive cannot bring success to organizations in the interdependent global economy of the 21st century. The rules have changed in the new American workplace. This book shows you how to play today's game by today's rules.

Review

..".The authors intelligently and informatively present a series of well-developed concepts and recommended behaviors regarding leadership qualities, managing change, restructuring, empowering employees, decision making, communication, training, and recognition and rewards. Of particular merit are the excellent chapters "Restructuring: Downsizing, Upsizing, and Rightsizing," which deals with all aspects of this 1990's phenomenon, and "Managing Change," which treats a crucial endeavor in modern organizations...the authors' main contribution is the detailed manner in which they explain how to accomplish the many valuable practices they advocate" -R. Quinn, CHOICE, October 1998
